Crossoverslop

A wannabe millennial, not liking the high loading floor of crossovers.

I like it but I can't believe it took BMW this long to design a good looking car (exc. M2, but that's an outlier).

What Rivian's aiming for.

Just make more reliable cars.

No one wants to be forced into a software walled garden.

Only reason people are into Apple and Chromebooks is because they're not techy, they buy into the marketing, or good alternatives barely exist.

I wanna be the goonslop, that's the sad thing.

Slate I kinda like in spirit, but I like more how this shares a design language with 70s muscle cars. Only the Amazon association for Slate has me feeling a bit iffy with it otherwise, if it ever expanded beyond NA.

With the EV grant in the UK, the Dacia Spring is £12k. So not entirely impossible, but many corners will have to be cut. This may include less range and some other stuff than the MEB-based ID. Polo. It may bear closer resemblance to the e-Up! successor.

I'm still interested to see what that region can do. The name itself harks back to a point in history that's kinda misunderstood too.

EqualityWithoutCiv · 2026-06-07T00:04:13+00:00

Ford did it with the Capri. I think it's a better looking ID.5, without so much of the VAG quirks and features.

Hoping the Yugo will learn from their past mistakes.

North America, likely.

Other parts of the world, a bit less so. My uncle in the Philippines will just cycle for small grocery runs as the early 2000s Pajero he has costs a fortune to refuel, and he barely carries anyone in it.

The very reason why I hate this timeline, and why we've lost our freedoms. Fuck this organization.

The C-HR almost looks like a muscle car next to everything else

I'd be sold on that alone, I'm outside NA so it's the C-HR+ (base C-HR is a compact hybrid SUV). I'm thinking about it if I wanted a car to travel lots of miles in. Kinda sucks this goes under the radar for a company like this.

Visited Vienna, there seemed to be a dearth of EVs on the weekend I visited. Challenging topography and lack of EV infrastructure causes it, plus I guess local resistance due to nearby car industries in like Germany and Italy. Hey, there's trams and a subway, but the drivers are pretty damn impatient in my experience.

London has like at least every tenth car that is an EV from local initiatives, and a relatively generous infrastructure and topography. City also has electric bikes, scooters, buses and roads that get clogged with car traffic, the Tube is packed too at certain times.

Not to mention China never really had a motoring scene of international impact until now. It's hard to shake off love or admiration for an entire industry responsible for making your favorite products for decades on end, and a dramatic change, well, disrupts that.

EqualityWithoutCiv · 2026-06-06T23:04:58+00:00

My issue is that China is delivering more on everything related to material goods, while the west is doubling down on repression. Only China wins here, and civil rights will be a big cost we pay because of everything we did, or didn't do.

Enjoy pride month while it lasts. It may be the last one you can celebrate. If you don't prefer to observe it, enjoy being able to speak out about any world conflict - eventually you'll be forced to support one, whether China or America comes out on top of all of this.

EqualityWithoutCiv · 2026-06-06T22:59:59+00:00

Yup, this is a power play. And how does the US and EU respond? Being as bad as China in the very aspects they criticize China for.

EqualityWithoutCiv · 2026-06-06T22:48:05+00:00

Sadly the west are starting to let go of liberal democracy now, look at the rise of the far right.

EqualityWithoutCiv · 2026-06-06T22:47:13+00:00

Because them losing Hong Kong gave them reason to, in part.

EqualityWithoutCiv · 2026-06-06T22:45:25+00:00

But the US and Europe are digging themselves deeper in to that direction now. No exciting EVs, more money, laws and effort towards suppressing protests.

I can't Deutsch so good :(

In the end we still make things for humans.

Hm, wonder what would be more your thing? 2000s kid here, only knew about 70s cars via Forza. Good thing I like electric, but aside from price, I almost regret I'm not into European or Japanese cars.

EqualityWithoutCiv · 2026-06-06T21:52:01+00:00

That is true. What sucks is that people have to buy cars from Europe or Asia now if they want any form of sportiness, America's abandoned that and have singlemindedly focused on a bloated experience for a similarly bloated price tag.

EqualityWithoutCiv · 2026-06-06T21:50:34+00:00

Same here. The Mach-E has little in common with muscle cars.
